Not a fan of Kim

In 2002, Walt Disney Television have launched a slate of live-action comedies and a few animated series, whom two gotten each a reboot on its own right.

The newer animated series were The Proud Family and (drum roll) Kim Possible!

Kim Possible: The Fan-Series!

There is a few things I like of the original show though: The art-deco style is pretty revolutionnary for a 2002s animated cartoon, on a time when much newer animated characters became edgier and flat with very ugly results. Guys like Steve Loter have contributed their part to the 87 half-hours of the show and then, we get probably the most greatest example of a heroine girl from human kind. One heroine who is not too concerned about fashion (Thought she have a pretty neat variety of clothes) and gossips by just juggling with the usual teens stuff like finish her grades, find a job when doing missions by beat the crap to Kraken (Althought she wanted to babysit first) and dealing with murky jobs or the defectiveness of her best friend Ron.

But there's a lot of things that square off to be more than just a mere Internet fad!

The characters themselves are very jerky, talkier and may be also pretty grating after a long time. (Ron have a very annoyingly squeaky-voice for a boy of his age) The villains are muchly too one-dimensional, on something that would periodically put the DiC corny bad guys at authentically sinister. The puns on the characters' names are too obvious, as if just pull the name of Kim Possible (Actually, her true name is Kimberly) gives a very awkward wordplay of "Impossible" and that the name of Ron Stoppable (Unstoppable! Get it?) is not better. For such of a pretty cool concept, the creators didn't bear to given to their characters true and fitting names without to labelled it at corny puns.

Why is the "actual" animated series couldn't be at stylish like this?

And there's goes the formula and quirks of the show: After Season 1, what made the series fun at first became easily tiresome to look. It's as if the producers knows that they can't trust of the production they worked on, despite that fans would says otherwise. (And of course, fans are pretty radical in everything about Kim!) Kim's sense of perfection and heroism been a drawback to her personality and that she live on a universe when she can't ever owned. That is why you have Ron doing any cracked jokes, that her parents and siblings aren't that better or that the villains been too easy for her to knocked them off. If Disney, anyone else having the courage to presenting a fearless heroine girl who saving the world in her free-times, results would be more fun and exciting than anything from the actual TV cartoon. That explain why she barely appeared on merchandising and that none licencing comics series were made from the TV series.

The show ended definitely in 2007 with 87 episodes. Originally, it have to ended on 2005 by the 65-episodes Disney policy, but petitions from fans has won in favor to renewed the show for another season. If only, we'll known what is going on.

The final season sadly reflected the reality that Kim is already a show from another era. The tiring spy and high-school teens genre don't longer matched well anymore. Totally Spies! also suffers of oversaturation by insane fans and lots of AI-generated artworks with out-of-places elements that wouldn't work on an actual animated production made by human beings. Kim Possible have more in common the creation of François Walthéry Natacha. The ressemblances are pretty obvious between these two and this is not hard to figure why.

For have reading tons of Natacha before, it was nevertheless my first step to search ideas for my own comic narratives, when I was on my late-twenties. Now more older, just read comics from the past are not guarantee that I would enjoy it by the firsts pages. The artform keep to level downwards since the past ten years and seriously, Natacha is now-on a series made for the nostalgic, older audience than the youths as we are.

Except on DeviantArt, Kim Possible is muchly a distant memory for many people, including the 2024s Disney company. This is a animated project that turned in cool on paper, but the whole thing fall apart by the Disney's limitations of this era. Sure, she survived on a 2019s Disney Channel movie... but on live-action... and it was all HATED because of it! No mention that nothing looks like new for just repeating everything from the original animated show instead to given us a newer introduction of the characters for those who weren't born when it originally came on. This is why Kim only exists at a fanservice property. It's also what we get if you took such of a very inferior production too seriously.

But unlike other Disney failed animated works, Kim Possible would sure came back on a newer reboot. Hopefully that it went with better sense of suspense and character development than everything seen from the original series (At first, screw Rufus out!) when the utter talkiness and jerky characters didn't given us a favor. Let's just hope that a much competent crew took in charge of this thing in the future without that turn on a mere Disney+ exclusive content.

Kim while going taller and a pretty attractive spy women! But is modern-day Disney would accepted THIS?
